You can't be arrested or imprisoned. If you fail to make the minimum payments and are past due on your payments, the credit card company can hire a collection agency, sue you for monies owed, and negatively impact your credit rating.

They cannot, however, harass you at work with collection calls. They have to follow Federal and State consumer laws.
